Chelsea attacker Willian insists that he has no desire to leave Stamford Bridge, despite reported interest from Manchester United.

Chelsea attacker Willian has insisted that he has no desire to leave Stamford Bridge.

The 29-year-old is contracted to the Blues until the summer of 2020, and has been in fine form in recent weeks - starring against Barcelona in the Champions League on February 20.

Manchester United have again been linked with a move for the Brazilian, with Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho a keen admirer of the player that he managed at Stamford Bridge.

Willian, however, has said that his "goal is to stay here at Chelsea".

"My goal is to stay here at Chelsea. Unless Chelsea does not want me anymore, there you have to find another club," Willian told Planeta SporTV. "Staying here for many more years. Even if it is possible to renew contract. About this, we have not talked yet. It might happen. I'm adapted.

"I'm five years old at the end of the season, I've won titles. Anyway, I have the fan's affection too. I intend to continue here until the end of my contract, to renew, to continue for more years."

Willian has scored 12 times and registered 10 assists in 42 appearances in all competitions this season.
